Letter: Kudos for Friday’s Opinion section

I want to commend The State Journal-Register for running two pieces of exceptional writing in Friday’s Opinion section.

Ernie Pyle’s “The horrible waste of war,” written in 1944, was beautiful, heartbreaking and an example of what constitutes truly great authorship. What an absolute shame he died so soon after, robbing the world of what undoubtably would have been future outstanding columns.

Also in the Opinion section was Esther Cepeda’s column, “Troubles in sisterhood.” This should be required reading for all women. Why women insist on being each other’s worst enemies, when cooperation would make all of us stronger, is beyond comprehension.
